Approximate Dynamic Programming - Solving the Curses of Dimensionality

Weather • Robust design of emergency response networks. • Design of financial instruments to hedge against weather emergencies to protect individuals, companies and municipalities. • Design of sensor networks and communication systems to manage responses to major weather events. Disease • Models of disease propagation for response planning. • Management of medical personnel, equipment and vaccines to respond to a disease outbreak. • Robust design of supply chains to mitigate the disruption of transportation systems.
